winemaker's notes:
Estancia Pinnacles Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in our Pinnacles vineyard on the western flanks of the Gavilan Mountains in Monterey County. In this up-and-coming region, the cool climate and sandy, well-drained soils keep yields low and fruit intensity high. The cool Monterey climate accompanied by a long growing season produced a ripe, mouthfilling Chardonnay. Subtle oak accentuates bright fruit. A rich, fruity bouquet and soft, creamy texture of this Chardonnay result from combining the best attributes of barrel and tank fermentation.
Appearance: Golden, straw yellow color.
Aroma: Bright citrus and green apple aromas with hints of vanilla and a kiss of the tropics.
Flavor: Mango, papaya, guava flavors mingle with pineapple and lemon custard. Nuances of oak, excellent concentration, crisp finish.

Had the pleasure of enjoying this wine with friends one evening. We paired it with shrimp and a whitefish. It complmented the entire evening. A simple yet flavorable delightful chardonnay.
